Gonna rent out a place by myself. Need some help.

Hey there!

​

I wonder if a potential landlord can ask for a pay stub or credit history? I hope it is the right sub where I can address my question. Surprisingly, I’ve never dealt before in renting a place by myself. I always had flatmates that did everything for me. Now, I have to find my own home, and I’ve never lived without flatmates before.

​

On the one hand, there are a lot of benefits. I can finally walk naked around the apartment and don’t need to bother myself wearing some clothes. Besides, I can bring girls whenever I want, and they don’t need to feel shy in front of my two other roomies. I can finally enjoy freedom in some ways.

​

But, on the other hand, I’ve just realized that I never lived by myself. I moved out of my parents’ house and lived with a roommate at my college dorm. Then we rented an apartment together and also found another guy to live with us. My college roommate studied law, so he took care of everything. I just paid the money. Besides, I’ve never done cooking before and barely cleaned the place by myself. Now, both my roomies have found girlfriends, and they are going to move in with them. While I have to pay for 3 bedroom flat by myself, which I can’t obviously afford, or find another place.

​

So, I ended up apartment hunting. So, far I have found three flats that I consider renting. I checked both of them, and two are a bit out of my expectations. Still, the price is affordable. Another flat that I’ve visited looks nice, the neighborhood is good, the price is reasonable. But the landlord asked me to provide my pay stub for him. Has he any legal rights to check my pay stub? Why didn’t two other landlords ask for anything like that? Besides, can I provide them with a pay stub made on this site — https://www.thepaystubs.com/? Do they really need the signature of my employer?

​

Since I haven’t rented a place by myself, I’m not sure whether I should provide a potential landlord with a paystub? I wanted to ask my friend for help, but he doesn’t answer his phone now. That’s why I’ve decided to ask for help here.

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...
